British Nanny State: School Bans Makeup, Bathroom Mirrors

Story is here: High school bans makeup, removes mirrors to crack down on teen vanity

On a personal level, I’m not a fan of makeup, especially on young teens. I feel it operates more as a security blanket than anything.

However…

It is totally up to the individual and/or their parents in the case of kids as to whether they wear the stuff. It is a troubling trend in western countries that schools are trying to parent the students. If the bathrooms are clogged, you set bathroom rules, you don’t step in with some insane rules about makeup and mirrors.
